Does anyone else use “ace” as an umbrella term when you’re actually aro and ace?

I’m pretty new to identifying as both aro and ace, and I find myself just calling myself ace and not really worrying about defining the aro part to people. Does anyone else do this? I of course know not everyone is both and many people still have/want romantic relationships, I just see it similar to using “gay” or “queer” for an umbrella term to avoid using mistook terms for a specific identity

I can't believe how angry heterosexual men are at women

I'm asexual, I've peeked around some other subs like the ''Purple pill'' and formerly the red pill (now deleted) out of pure curiosity and am honestly dumbfounded. Want to know the reason driving their anger? they're not getting sex. That's right, these guys aren't getting a chance to exchange bodily fluids with random women on the dating app Tinder so they're in a rage and acting out on these subs. Literally throwing a temper tantrum about how these random internet women aren't noticing them and aren't hooking up with them in real life for a ''fluid exchange'' on demand.

I can not even believe how non-asexual people think. It is pure stupid, it is a breath away from clinical insanity yet they are the normal ones. So much of their focus is on sex. They don't even value platonic relationships with women. They just want into the female genitalia and if they can't get that they rage!

These men don't even value their health. How do you know these women on the app don't have HIV? would you be willing to risk your health just to have sex or unprotected sex with a woman you don't know just because you're desperate and lonely.

My best friend just asked me to be a QPR with them

The conversation went something like this (we've already known for some time we both have squishes on each other):

Them: Hey so... you want a QPR... you know I have a squish on you... why don't we have a QPR?

Me: Well, do YOU want to be in a QPR?

Them: Yeah.

Me: OK sure :)

And then we went back to drawing. I want to talk to them about it, but I have no idea what to do and I really don't want to mess it up. There's also a voice in the back of my mind wondering if they were actually serious, even though I KNOW that they wouldn't do that. And I don't really know how to go about it. Should I text them about it, or wait until we can see each other in person (probably about a week). Any advice would be awesome and thank you in advance :)

Bye everyone! 👋

I recently figured out I’m a lesbian and not asexual so bye! I’ll miss the ace community but I feel like I should leave this sub because I’m no longer ace…

Met a nice guy on a dating app, but he's not asexual

So I got on an online dating site (OkCupid). I very clearing state that I'm asexual and that I won't be having sex with them. I matched with a guy recently. I met him for the first time lat week. He's handsome, funny, and nice. I haven't noticed anything crazy. The thing that's bothering me is that he hasn't stated that he's asexual and I haven't directly asked him about his sexuality. Maybe he's a closeted asexual, idk. I haven't discussed with him how he feels about me being asexual, but we have a second date coming up so I want to talk to him about it soon. I feel there's chemistry and that he likes me on some level. I don't want to get caught up before I know how he feels.

It just feels too good to be true. Even if I'm friend-zoned I worry that he thinks he'll be able to talk me into having sex or try to convince me that how I feel is wrong. Why would a non-asexual guy entertain a woman on a dating site if he knows they won't have sex? What are y'all's protocols for situations like this (asexual and non-asexual dating)? It's hard to find asexual men that I want to date. I've tried AsexualCupid.com, but the website isn't great and Redditors scare me (I haven't had a good experience with people on this site). I joined a Meetup, but I haven't been to many events yet.
